Vikings' Adrian Peterson: Listed as starter Sunday, though could be in rotation

Peterson (knee) is listed as a starter by the Vikings for Sunday's game against the Colts. Per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the Vikings plan for Peterson in his return to action is to "work him in with others for 20 plays then evaluate to let er rip or rotate in."

Analysis:

The others Glazer references are Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon, and their availability will allow the Vikings to let Peterson's effectiveness, as well as game flow, dictate how much work they hand Peterson, who has not suited up since Week 2. Peterson thus profiles as a speculative fantasy play in Week 15, though in any case, after Sunday's contest, owners should have enough context to have a good read on the veteran back's prospects as the last two weeks of the regular season approach.
